Looking for experienced sailors to test a historical weather tool (passage planning)

Hey all —

I’ve been working on a tool that uses historical weather data to help with passage planning, and I’m looking for a few sailors to try an early private beta.

This is definitely still rough around the edges, so it’d be best suited for people who:

I’m not posting a public link yet, not ready for that but if you’re interested feel free to DM me and I’ll share access and I am happy to in exchange provide any insight I've gained on specific routes you are contemplating if I can.

For context — I’ve spent \~10 years working in data science (insurance side), and recently finished a \~45,000 nm circumnavigation. I built this mostly because I wanted something like it myself, and I’m hoping others might find it useful too.

Happy to answer any questions here as well.
